Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "HAC6054 East London Apartments" project, initiated by the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, is now in the award stage. The process features a direct award method, primarily due to the urgency and grant approval timelines, as detailed in the procurement rationale. The project focuses on providing housing for individuals with a history of rough sleeping and is entirely funded by the Rough Sleeping Accommodation Programme. Located on Hackney Road in London, the service aims to alleviate homelessness and support community welfare. The contract, valued at £622,319, is scheduled to start on 26th August 2025 and conclude by 31st March 2026, following the end of the standstill period on the 25th of August 2025.

This tender represents significant business opportunities, specifically within the health and social work services sector. The project, addressing social challenges, may appeal to businesses specialising in social care, supported housing, and community welfare services. Large organisations, particularly those with experience in catering to vulnerable populations and the capability to provide comprehensive support services, stand to benefit greatly from involving in similar procurement efforts by establishing partnerships or exploring future tenders with public authorities such as the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.

Notice Information

Notice Title

HAC6054 East London Apartments

Notice Description

East London Apartments provides 31 one-bed flats in a supported housing setting on Hackney Road (Weavers Ward). Referrals into the service are exclusively for those with a history of rough sleeping, many of whom have struggled in or been evicted from other supported housing settings in the Borough. The service is funded entirely through the Rough Sleeping Accommodation Programme (RSAP) which is a funding steam of the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government.

Procurement Information

Grant funding for the year was not approved until December 2024 for the year 01/04/2 to 31/03/26 which did not provide enough time for a competitive tender procedure and would have potentially rendered the current tenants homeless
